Underwhelming

I really want to love USB-C -- it's such a versatile connector, truly a technical marvel -- but it's shameful that this cable only supports USB 2.0 data speeds

I have had my new MacBook Pro for less than two months and have had to replace this cable twice already! The cord bends and snaps so easily. Both times I'm unsure how it happened and they're not exactly cheap to replace

Not your typical USB-C cable

Transfers data slowly and doesn't support video.

As per others: nearly $3K MacBook Pro slipped off my sofa arm onto my sofa (a 15cm drop onto the soft seat) and broke the cable head.
Incomprehensible that Apple can charge so much for such an inferior piece of kit.

So Very disappointed with this cable. Tried to buy a new MacBook Pro, but the cable smell was so bad, we eventually had to return the computer. Tried airing it out in the basement, then the garage with no success. Causes headaches and nausea, and the odor seems to spread to everything the cable comes in contact with. We returned the cable to Apple store for a new one, but sadly had the same result. The staff in the store, including the manager, reportedly had never heard of the issue, but did admit the cable smells of mold when they opened a third one. Apparently all the cables are made of the same materials. This causes me to question why I would ever buy another product from Apple. We are long term users. I hope this issue will be corrected soon.

Flimsy, poor design choice for laptop charging purposes

This is the worst laptop charger I've ever used. The metal is remarkably flimsy (it could just be apple products, though I have not purchased any other brand),
This is the worst laptop charger I've ever used. The metal is remarkably flimsy (it could just be apple products, though I have not purchased any other brand), especially considering USB-C is designed to stay in the port even with a some resistance (if the laptop or cord gets bumped, the cord will pull the laptop with it to a degree, but the metal within the port will also bend), as opposed to a more magnetic and less physical mechanism, which is optimal for laptop chargers.
